I can personally relate as a drummer, IF YOU SCOOP YOUR MIDS I CANT HEAR GUITAR due to the perceived LOW volume... thanks for a killer video dude

[Dhakadice]

Though pretty much what I expected, these ARE some really good tips. :)
* Raise mids.
* Lower gain.
* Either tilt the cabinet or put it at ear level (and not pointed towards the sound guy or audience).

[aaronunroe]

Love it, specially the amp stand tilt and height

[LloydMajor]

That is so true about "THE MIDRANGE RANGE".

[GeorgeHeil-ggwv]

Clarity ~ clarity ~ clarity . . . articulate every note in the chords.

[MikeMedley-xdqc]

Tried this, and amazing difference. Thank you so much. I play old honky tonk country, tele and I was struggling with hearing my guitar but without killing my ears lol. Turned the mids up. Wow worked perfect.

[vinniem]

The start to my guitar career was with your videos on (I think) a different channel. You explained the power chord shape in reference to Iron Man and Enter Sandman. And a whole bunch more videos. I haven't seen you on YouTube since, but I recognized you right away. Thanks for all the help 👍

Brother, I cannot believe, so before usualy I was keeping my mids 0-10 on 4 to and to much gain so I have followed your advise and bang, before I cannot ear my leads and was thinking its my volume, just exactly what you are saying, so my friend that he is bass player from another band he show up on my gig and he told me, "bro I don't know to much about electric guitar, but I think your problem is not volume seems to me EQ" so on the next day I started search on youtube lol and then i found your video. Thanks brother you change the way that I sound on the stage now everyone and my self can enjoy the lead guitar.

I started playing in my twenties and learned my first tunes and licks thanks to you, @rockongoodpeople .
I still remember and tell people how that guy, pioneer in the youtube game taught me guitar and how he would start with this laid back "What's up good people ?" line. I was wondering how to find you again !
And 15 years and many bands later, I find myself asking you questions and getting the best advice for my next show tonight.
Thanks. so. much from me and everyone you inspired to keep picking up their guitar.

A present for young guitarists. Congrats man!

[silentbug]

Thank you so much this is absolutely amazing advice. This is the tone I knew I wanted but didn’t know how to achieve until now. Thank you :)

[markadams]

Great tips. I would add the reason for turning guitar gain down is because gain saturation boosts the noise floor across all frequencies and creates non linear harmonics in the highs. This interfers with the high "space" especially and makes the entire mix muddy.

[anthonystevenson]

I totally understand and agree, I had to unlearn a lot on my settings. Fuzz isn't always a good thing. And getting with the band you should get used to walking around the room yourself to hear your mates at different spots in the room helps too. Avoid any sound competition lol

[kyhl]

I do all of these methods. Great advice! And it works like a charm and has for years. There's a saying "God lives in the mid-range". Guitarists locally have asked me forever "how do you get your tone, and you use the same ol dual rectifier you always have?" .. "well, regular amp maintenance and pre-amp tube rolling depending on what you're looking for in terms of overall aggressiveness, back the gain WAY off, roll off the bottom end and the ice picky highs, and bring in your mids, if you need to boost, you can use a tube screamer or really any kind of overdrive pedal in front of the amp during solos. The boost idea is also good for jent guitar work, cause in these extreme metal situations you actually want less gain cause alot of times youre using these 7, 8 and 9 string guitars, more mids, less bass, and treble, maybe bring in some presence and then boost it a little.

[tamakoura]

Thanks for the tips. First gig this week. Wish us luck.

[ClearWaterRising]

I died when he goes "Dime, I want you to back it off" llololol

[CHill-uhfg]

Great tips, exspesualy on the gain, I've found from playing in bars over the years that what sounds good on stage, will be overly distorted to the audience. Sound naturally breaks up travels through the room. Best thing to happen to my playing was to get used to playing cleaner

[serdar]

Because of Metallica albums, I used to do this mid cut mistake on stage and that exactly what happened. Tonemeisters rebuked me to cut down my bass eq's and open up my mids and presence. which was very disturbing sound I hate to hear on my monitors. Later I switched to Slayer's settings which are The EQ is Sad face. That sound amazing, I did not intervene to Bass Player's frequencies, I became more articulate, I could express my pick up touch especially in downpicking sections.and chords became more rich sounding.

I wear ear plugs when I attend shows and cover them with a stocking hat like you are wearing so no one can see that I'm wearing them. lol.
I played in a band and we all had combo amps with stands. It really does help you hear yourself playing. I had a Spark mini boost pedal for lead. It was neat because you could step on and hold the button down while you played lead and then just lift your foot when done. Didn't have to click the button off and on. Simple things can become tricky when you are playing live and on the spot!

I'm going to apply this tomorrow
